in this paper, unsteady two phase simulation of nanofluid flow and heat transfer between moving parallel plates, in presence of the magnetic field is studied. the significant effects of thermophoresis and brownian motion have been contained in the model of nanofluid flow. the three governing equations are solved simultaneously via galerkin method. comparison with other works indicates that this...

Accuracy in in vivo quantitation of brain function with positron emission tomography (PET) has often been limited by partial volume effects. This limitation becomes prominent in studies of aging and degenerative brain diseases where partial volume effects vary with different degrees of atrophy. The present study describes how the actual gray matter (GM) tracer concentration can be estimated usi...

Genetically modified (GM) crops have been commercially grown for two decades. GM maize is one of 3 species with the highest acreage and specific events. Many countries established a mandatory labeling of products containing GM material, with thresholds for adventitious presence, to support consumers' freedom of choice. In consequence, coexistence systems need to be introduced to facilitate comm...

Coexistence between genetically modified (GM) and non-GM plants is a field of rapid development and considerable controversy. In crops, it is increasingly important to understand and predict the GM volunteer emergence in subsequent non-GM crops. Theoretical models suggest recruitment from the seedbank over extended periods, but empirical evidence matching these predictions has been scarce. Here...

Plant starches regularly require extensive modification to permit subsequent applications. Such processing is usually done by the use of chemical and/or physical treatments. The use of recombinant enzymes produced by large-scale fermentation of GM microorganisms is increasingly used in starch processing and modification, sometimes as an alternative to chemical or physical treatments. However, a...

background: gentamicin (gm) is used as antibiotic for gram-negative infections, but its administration is limited due to a side-effect of nephrotoxicity. it was attempted to investigate the effect of althaea officinalis flower extract (aofe) against nephrotoxicity induced by gm in male rats. methods: 30-year-old male wistar rats were divided into five groups. group 1 as a negative control group...

Macrophage-derived granulomonopoietic enhancing activity (GM-EA) is a novel mediator that amplifies colony formation of myeloid progenitor cells (CFU-GM) in conjunction with colony-stimulating factors (CSFs), and is distinct from other hematopoietic synergizing factors such as interleukin (IL)-1, IL-4, and IL-6. In the present study, we try to ascertain whether or not there is a GM-EA-specific ...

Biotin-labeled granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), in combination with phycoerythrin-conjugated streptavidin, enabled flow cytometric analysis of specific cell-surface GM-CSF receptors on rhesus monkey bone marrow (BM) and peripheral blood (PB) cells. GM-CSF receptors were readily detected on PB monocytes and neutrophils, but not on lymphocytes. In BM, GM-CSF receptors we...

Human G myeloma (7S gamma(2)-myeloma) proteins were investigated for relationships between Gm and Inv genetic factors and the different antigenic types of heavy polypeptide chains (gamma-chains) and light polypeptide chains. Myeloma proteins were isolated from the sera of 1 Chinese, 60 white and 28 Negro individuals. These 89 proteins were tested for eight Gm factors [Gm(a), Gm(x), Gm(b(2)), Gm...
